Symmetry, Volume 16, Issue 8

2024 August - 157 articles

Cover Story: The measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic $B$ mesons decay into $D$-mesons, with $\tau$ lepton in the final state, normalized to the light leptons case, exceeding various Standard Model predictions. These tensions, while not yet significant, suggest that the coupling to $\tau$ leptons is stronger than predicted, pointing to a violation of the lepton universality.
This review covers the theory of semileptonic b-hadron decays, experimental techniques, and the latest results and their implications. View this paper
